A gentleman with a rather unusual predilection made his way onto the 'This Morning' run-down today.
Viewers were introduced to Edward Smith, now 63, who has slept with 700 lovers since he was 14. Quite impressive, until you check the small print... it turns out only one has been another person, the rest have all been cars.
There is a word for this kind of attraction - mechaphilia, to describe someone sexually attracted to machines.
Suffice to say Phil couldn't quite get his head around it.
@Schofe@Amanda_Holden "What would happen if someone rear ended her" 😂 #sexwithcars Got to love these expressions! pic.twitter.com/ngqk94SMWB
— Jiffy Matharu Paul (@JiffyMPaul) October 14, 2014I can't take much more, @Schofe on @itvthismorning talking to the guy who has #sexwithcars: "What happens if someone rear-ends her?" #haha
— James Leyfield (@JamesJourn) October 14, 2014And it turns out Edward isn't picky. He hasn't got a type. In that time, he's 'bedded' Mustangs, Jaguars.
Ok ! We shouldn't try to rationalise this at all, it's wrong and simply CRAZY ! 🙈🙉🙊 #sexwithcars
— Flint Bedrock (@flintbedrock) October 14, 2014Oh and did we mention the helicopter?
Oh my god just watched the #sexwithcars interview on #thismorning; He briefly had a relationship with a helicopter #tofar

— Isabelle (@isabellerfox) October 14, 2014TV viewers saw Edward with his long-time love, a Volkswagen Beetle.
'There's this deep, very deep love... I wouldn't want anything to separate us' Edward shares his feelings for his car Vanilla #SexWithCars

#sexwithcars wow how bizarre but I have heard of it. Saw a programme about a woman in love with a bridge, now that's weird😳
